Marquis

[dknward2]

Marquis missing due to personal issues so for now can we come together and get behind the lads and until if he does go John as well

[IDM]

I never suggested they hadn’t so If they have then it wouldn’t take until 5/6 games into the season to sign will it.

No not directly but there’s a hint of there being “something up” in your post.

The world won’t end if we need to use the window..

Don’t you think the club won’t have looked at potential Marquis replacements since January at least.??

[DonnyOsmond]

I'd bring in Jonson Clarke-Harris anyway. Bristol Rovers have signed a couple of forwards including Tyler Smith so they have potentially already replaced him. He'd offer us someone as backup to Marquis who can score and could give us goal threat on the wing.

[Boomstick]

Everyone has known that marquis probably will be leaving this summer.
If we haven’t got the replacement already sorted then there’s something up

Maybe they have players in mind, what makes you think they won’t have researched this.??

Nothing about this pre season has been well run it appears. There's no reason to believe the club are on the ball about the marquis situation.
Dare say any money from his sale will most likely disappear, just like the cup run money.

Of course I do, but if we don’t replace him for 6 weeks it would make me think otherwise

.......and we could give our so called promotion rivals something like a ten point start on us.

We’re not a one man team though.?

There’s no reason to believe they’re not, either..  just because YOU don’t know, doesn’t mean things aren’t happening..

[dickos1]

The thing that’s doing my head in and I know others too, is that the same old people on here just keep batting the concerns away.
when the  appointment was dragging on it was “ it’s only June let’s see where we are in a few weeks”
Just before Moore was appointed it was “we have signings ready to go let’s see where we are next week”
Then after a week or so it was “ Moore needs to assess his players for a week let’s see where we are in 2 weeks”
Now it’s “the players aren’t available let’s see where we are in September”

[IDM]

Where has anyone made that last statement.??

I have to agree 100% with that statement!

You’re an absolute f**king tool aren’t you? Actually I take that back. Tools are at least useful. What are you vaping?

[dickos1]

People have said we’ve got until the window shuts so if we need to wait until then, then so be it
The window closes in September

[PDX_Rover]

GB has stated publicly that players have been identified.

[Chris Black come back]

Same folk in panic. Again.

“How are we going to get a decent manager if we only approach those out of work?”

“This process of recruiting manager is dragging on too long”

“Board trying to do everything on the cheap. Definitely some conspiracy going on here. Something really shadowy. Rearrange the letters in ‘Gavin Baldwin’ and you get ‘Mark Weaver’. Have you ever seen Terry Bramhall / Brammall / Brammhall cast a shadow in midday sun?”

There are some folk on here obsessed with fretting and dreaming up conspiracy theories. Leave them to it if that is what they want to believe. No point engaging.

That’s for getting someone in by September, not “seeing where we are at” then.. there is a difference.

Looks to me, and it’s only my opinion, that you are seeing things that aren’t there..

You just did engage, ...and you know it feels good to hold the moral high ground...lol

Batting concerns away is just a coping mechanism.......inside I’m 😱

[IDM]

I wonder if the Hull fans are having similar “debates” about Bowen’s immediate future.?

[Wiltshire Exile]

I don’t suppose there is anything new here, eh?:

[no eyed deer]

If, when he goes... thank you

[jackthelad]

Probably yeah, but why is that relevant?

[IDM]

 Because it’s a similar situation.  Both top players at their respective clubs, both expected to move this summer..

[selby]

I have no problem with John Marquis bettering himself money and career wise, if we cannot afford to offer the same terms, and he wants to  leave, then it is up to us as a club to get the best value for him we can.
  He has given his best for this club, extended his contract once, so must have been settled here, and has played well enough for us to advance his reputation in the game.
  We should be looking to part on the best of terms with the player, he deserves that if he leaves, but we must maximise our value to our club with a good fee and sell on clause.
   As for the idiots on about money disappearing, the only money that has done that is the owners contributions every year that has kept this club sustainable as the published financial statement every year shows, please engage brain before opening your gob comes to mind as we still have time to spend before the end of the transfer widow, and still have to fund set assets such as training pitches, stadiums, and the current staff.

[jackthelad]

I really do hope we keep him. Regardless of what you think of him as a player you just cannot fault his goalscoring record. Prolific.

I fully expect he will leave however, can't see him moving to a league one team though. I would imagine any London team in the championship coming in for him would be perfect.

If he does go then I'll wish him all the best and thanks for the countless goals over the past three seasons.  He's Definetly earnt a crack at the next level and he's always been upfront and honest about his intentions of playing in the championship.
I just hope we get a decent fee and it's reinvested wisely into the starting 11.

[Dare to dream!]

I will be hugely disappointed if he goes to any other league one club other than Sunderland.

[Wild Rover]

Did I read (or dream) JM is on his way to Forest (fee of 1.4 million I believe).

The Florest rumours have been bubbling for a while now - how they true they are is another questions.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I'd be disappointed if he goes to any league 1 club.  Moving to a Championship side is a step up which none of us would hold against him, a move to another league 1 side is a disappointment.

Someone said it on here on Saturday before we knew he was out of the game due to personal reasons. I don't expect there's anything in it, just Forest are a side who have been linked with him a fair bit this summer.
